Russia is a fascist state that does not want to know its real history. Lies upon lies about its own past and present. I don't know if there is a way back, with or without Putin. Too many people are involved.

Memorial raids: Russia targets leaders of banned Nobel Prize-winning group
Nine leaders of one of Russia's oldest human rights groups, Memorial, have been targeted in raids on their homes, 15 months after their organisation was shut down by the courts.
Among them was Memorial's co-chair, Oleg Orlov, who is facing a criminal case for "discrediting" the military.
Founded in 1989, Memorial aimed to remember millions of innocent people persecuted by Soviet repression.
But it was liquidated ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
